In the Spotlight: Andrew Swithinbank’s Mechanicum Taghmata

Andrew Swithinbank’s Mechanicum began with inspiration from Warhammer World and developed into a large force of automata, transports and specialist infantry. Thin brown-to-red layers establish a consistent Martian finish before transfers and weathering, with plans for a personal Kelbor-Hal conversion giving the collection a future focal point.
